Honey Pot shepherd's hut (two person)
Liked Bank Holiday weekend 3-night stay spent at the Honey Pot shepherds hut. What a wonderful location. The hut was beautiful and very comfortable. A lovely warm welcome from Linda on arrival and a relaxing long weekend followed. Great location to get to Beamish, Durham and Newcastle .. we did all 3 and did circular walks each day too. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We will be back - prefect for a weekend getaway
Honey Pot shepherd's hut (two person)
Liked When I read the reviews I thought nothing is that good - it wasnât it was so much more than good. What a friendly welcome felt like visiting family. I had to take a call just as was chatting to lovely lady so my husband was given some ideas a map and a few leaflets etc so we could make the most of our stay. The honeypot was so quaint and the finishing touches made it very homely. Everything we needed such as tea coffee sugar and milk was waiting for us. A very quiet place not far from anywhere and as the only people staying this weekend we had sheep for company. Despite the weather being unpredictable we managed to have an afternoon cup of tea and cake sat on the bench outside in a little private suntrap at the back of the hut. With a later morning check out unlike most places meant even our leaving was at a leisurely pace.

Beautiful, spotless and lovely hosts!
The Leaping Lamb shepherd's hut (four person)
Liked What a lovely hidden gem! We stayed here whilst visiting for Seaglass hunting at Seaham which was only 10 minutes drive away. The beautiful hut was spotless and had everything we needed and more. The double bed was so comfortable. Three of us stayed here and it didnât feel cramped at any point. Stunning views outside of the hut, perfect for a bbq on the evening watching the sunset. Linda and Jimmy were so welcoming, it felt like we were staying with family :) Linda even sent us home with some of her homegrown tomatoes which was very kind. We will definitely stay again and 100% recommend to anyone considering booking! :)

Honey Pot shepherd's hut (two person)
Liked Just home from an amazing weekend away for our anniversary, everything was perfect from start to finish. Beautiful location, very private but not too far away from local village or bus routes (non driver) plenty of walks to explore.
DĂ©cor was beautiful and very cozy.
Welcoming from moment I collected the keys đ
We will definitely be back

Excellent site, friendly host, good for country pubs & coastal walks.
Honey Pot shepherd's hut (two person)
Liked We had a lovlely experience here for a long weekend in July. The host was very welcoming and accomodating, as well as being knowledgeable with recommendations for local walks and pubs (go to the blue house for some good pub grub!). The hut is nicely decorated and very cosy, with excellent surroundings. I'd strongly recommend.
